Initial Ideas

Hello everyone, just to outline the main ideas we have come up with so far, I have listed them on this blog, anything else you might want to add is welcome and feel free to add links pictures etc for research!

'Making An Entrance'

• New teacher or trainee teacher (could be science/drama/art?) Their 'want' is to be a good teacher and also to make it fun for the kids. Some examples would be..."Matilda" "Teachers" "School Of Rock" "Summer Heights High"-Mr Gee

• Blind Date / First Date - Boy/girl meet for the first time through a newspaper 'seeking love' column, the results are unexpected. A 3rd character could be a waiter who messes things up for the two of them even more, for example - Maunel from 'Fawlty Towers'

• New kid in town enters a new group, this is quite a common place for films such as Football Factory, Green Street & The Firm. The protagonist is often disliked by the new group they enter but there is often one person who will accept and take a liking to them, and ultimately achieve their 'want' which is to fit in.

• The final idea we have for now is the 'Taxi' idea, which involves the taxi driver as the main protagonist and he/she has top put up with various people who might tell them about parts of their life or couples having an argument or showing affection for each other. The want for this character could be that if he sees people who seem better off than him such as a couple who are in love, he/she may be lonely and want a companion. The obvious example for this idea would be Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
